I like the steering columns from the mid to late '80's GM vans/trucks, El Caminos for my builds, have used them on four or five vehicles.
I like tilt columns with all of the controls for lights, dimmer, etc., incorporated into the column.
If you are considering power steering, do not use an original steering wheel, they are two big which will result in over steer.
A really nice trick, I have used on several 1960 model GM trucks is to switch the front cross member to one from a later truck, 1971 to 83, power disk brakes and power steering.. A direct swap, 16 bolts, two of which the holes have to be elongated. An afternoon job.
I have a '98 5.7 Vortec w/4L60 trans and a '98 front cross member bolted into my '64 C-10. The rear end is a '98 HD ten bolt with 3.43 gearing.. 2,100 rpms @ 70 mph.. Wm
